Free and easy, that's my style Howdydo me, watch me smile But fare the well me after a while 'Cause I gotta roam And any place I hang my hat is home. Sweetenin' water, cherry wine Thank you kindly, suits me fine Kansas City, Caroline That's my honeycomb 'Cause any place I hang my hat is home Bridge Birds roostin' in a tree Pick up and go, and the goin' proves That's how it oughta to be I pick up, too, when the spirit moves me Cross the river, 'round the bend "Hello stranger!" "So long friend" There's a voice in the lonesome wind That keeps whis - p'ring, "Roam" I'm going where a welcome mat is No matter where that is 'Cause any place I hang my hat is home
